Availability of alpha "Easy Juju on Azure" disk image

[Samuel Cozannet]

Hi Andrew,

First of all, thanks for having taken the time to try it out! Much
appreciated.

Thx for the comments. Point taken. As Marco mentioned this alpha will now
be productized and maintained properly on Azure. They will get a whole lot
better very soon.

In the meantime, if you add a comment on the vm depot to notify the user
not to try twice times, I think that would help and avoid similar issues
for others.

A quick win I can think of is also
- timer to 5s
- add a lock file to avoid double execution.

Best,
Samuel
